if you can't get them aftermarket through catalog, then your best bet would be a salvage yard. Find a lot of good parts there! Good price usually!

Some things can be located through this dealership. But often the parts just don't exist any longer. It is like trying to find parts for a 1935 Chrysler. They are just gone forever.
TRy this first before you give up hope. HERE

You can also try this one, is a nation wide salvage yard database.

Good Luck.
